Fund Impact Assessment 2020/21: cherry, vegetables and small tropicals (MT21013)
What was it all about?
Each year Hort Innovation engages independent consultants to evaluate the impact of our R&D investments. This involves looking across a random sample of Hort Innovation R&D projects completed in the previous financial year, plus a specific look at the impact of work within a selection of industry-specific Hort Innovation Funds.
This project evaluated a random selection of projects in the Hort Innovation Cherry, Vegetable and Small Tropical (Lychee, Pineapple, Papaya, Persimmon, Passionfruit) Funds, with a focus on projects completed within the five years to 30 June 2021, aligned to the 2017-2021 industry Strategic Investment Plans.
